Link: www.metroscreen.org.au
The Metro Screen Network¹s August event.
Tuesday August 5th at 6.30pm.
$10 non-members
Your entire crew are volunteers so they don¹t need to sign a contract,
right? Wrong.
That tune on the Mozart CD is so old it must be copyright free, right?
Wrong.
Your volunteer PA staples their finger to a call sheet they are
responsible for medical costs, right? Wrong.
For the duration of your shoot (pre to post), the set, office or edit suite
becomes a place of work. As with any place of work, you have certain rights
and responsibilities to your cast and crew.
Imagine your film never seeing the light of day because you didn¹t get a
signed release form OR your chance to screen at a big festival or TV run is
ruined because you don¹t have the correct music copyright? This can and has
happened!
A panel of film industry representatives will discuss and enlighten you to
the legal side of filmmaking. From permissions, release forms, contracts,
copyright and insurances.
If you¹re serious about taking filmmaking seriously, then this industry
panel is a must.
Panellists will represent various areas of this often neglected but
essential aspect of the filmmaking process, including; fellow filmmakers
sharing their experiences, legal experts, insurance company representatives
and music copyright gurus. A Q&A session is also included.
Speakers to be announced shortly.
WHEN: Tues August 5th, 6.30pm 8pm
WHERE: METRO SCREEN, Paddington Town Hall Cnr Oxford St Oatley Rd,
Paddington
COST: Free for Metro Screen members / $10 non-members
